EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite "Annunciation" sculpture by Antonello Gagini, housed in the Museo Civico A. Cordici in Erice, Trapani province. The artwork itself dates back to 1525 and is a remarkable example of High Renaissance art. In this scene, we witness the pivotal moment when Archangel Gabriel appears before the Virgin Mary to deliver the news of her divine destiny. The figure of Mary stands gracefully draped in a flowing mantle cloak, her head modestly covered with a veil that adds an air of reverence to her presence. Her expression reflects both surprise and acceptance as she listens intently to Gabriel's message. The angelic figure of Gabriel hovers above Mary, his wings outstretched symbolizing his celestial nature. Clad in intricate clothing that blends elements from civilian, military, and religious attire, he holds a Bible on a lectern bearing a crest or emblem denoting his heavenly origin. Surrounding this central composition are various vegetal elements such as briars and vegetation that add depth and symbolism to the scene. These natural motifs serve as reminders of life's cycles and growth within religious contexts. Captured between 1915-1920 by Brogi for Alinari, this photograph beautifully showcases Gagini's mastery in capturing human emotion through sculptural form during an era marked by both Renaissance and Baroque influences across Europe. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back through time to witness one of Christianity's most significant events—the Annunciation—depicted with exceptional skill by Antonello Gagini.
